Our read of the game, based on the data the studio publishes

Released in July 2020, The Dog House Megaways rebuilds Pragmatic Play's hit original on the Megaways engine. The grid varies across 6 reels with 2 to 7 rows, generating up to 117,649 ways to win, and the max win rises to 12,305x the stake (versus 6,750x on the original). Two distinct free-spin modes are on offer – Sticky Wilds and Raining Wilds – with Multiplier Wilds of x1, x2 or x3, plus a 100x stake bonus buy outside the UK. Volatility is very high, and the official max-win hit frequency is about 1 in 1 billion spins, so reaching 12,305x is extremely rare but theoretically possible.

About The Dog House Megaways

Released in July 2020, The Dog House Megaways takes the winning formula of the original Dog House and rebuilds it on Big Time Gaming's Megaways system (under licence to Pragmatic Play). The grid varies across 6 reels with 2 to 7 rows, offering up to 117,649 ways to win – a huge jump from the original's 20 fixed paylines. Official RTP 96.55% (degraded versions of 95.53% / 94.55% also circulate), very high volatility, max win 12,305x the stake.

The big addition on the bonus side: two distinct free-spin modes chosen at random when the trigger (3+ scatters) lands. Sticky Wilds mode gives 10 free spins where Multiplier Wilds stay sticky (as on the original). Raining Wilds mode gives 10 free spins where wilds fall randomly on every spin, substantially raising the hit rate. Multiplier Wilds of x1, x2 or x3 appear in the base game and in both bonus modes.

A 100x stake bonus buy is available outside the UK. Available at leading crypto and international online casinos offering Pragmatic Play titles.
